First Impressions:
I'm impressed by the banner/header on your forum. I like the view of the mountain range in the banner/header but the only problem is I am unable to see how it has anything to do with the niche` on your site. If your site is going to be about entertainment, then I think the design of your site should help portray that to your guests. I do like the fact that it automatically scrolls through some of the articles that you have on the movies. I think I'll look forward to seeing some trailers for some more movies in the future. I do like the fact that you can easily get to everything through the navigation bar, which is displayed nicely just below the banner/header. That's one of my pet peeves, not being able to find my way around a site and I don't have that problem at Optimus Vault. Keep that up.
Thing you liked best about forum: Everything is easy to find. Thing you liked least about forum: The design of the site should match the niche`.
I'm a fan of different things from the entertainment industry and I am enjoying your site so far. I think you can really go far with your site with just a few improvements. I wish only the best for you and your site.
The problem with header image is it must be a certain height/width and it's almost beyond impossible to find any decent images for movies that display at that ratio.

The banner and font on your site is good. It grabs the reader immediately upon visiting the site. However I think you need to divide the sections of your site slightly better to make it more manageable for visitors to navigate.
I haven't really looked at your site, but one thing I noticed (unless it's my internet) is that the first time I loaded your page, it took 15 seconds. Each subsequent load takes roughly 3-5 seconds before output is made to my browser. This is just the home page. Other pages do not seem to take that long. But speed is a must in today's times... so again, unless it's my internet, I'd recommend double checking speed performance of the home page and try to get it in at least under 2 seconds.
